West Lake Panorama: A Millennium of Woodblock Printing
Visual Arts
Description
Description
West Lake Panorama celebrates the storied history of printmaking and woodblock technologies which have developed around Hangzhou’s West Lake area for the past millennium. Literally known as ‘water-printing’ (shuiyin), the technique of working with water-soluble colours and wooden blocks has been widely used throughout contemporary Chinese printmaking, as the process allows for complex forms of overprinting in order to reproduce a nearly infinite range of colours. The UMAG exhibition includes contemporary ink landscapes ranging from the mid-1980s to the present day, along with Ming and Qing dynasty woodblock editions.
